Plus size model Tess Holliday has made headlines once again, this time for posting a nude image to Instagram.

The 33-year-old shared the striking photo of herself laying in a field along with a lengthy post detailing the "testing" month she's endured since she appeared on the cover of the October issue of UK Cosmopolitan magazine.

Holliday copped widespread criticism for "promoting obesity" by appearing on the cover. Amongst the thousands of people who slammed the model included UK TV presenter Piers Morgan.

"I'm so incredibly grateful to be able to exist in a space that other haven't been able to before. My health is no one's business. We could be talking about models that smoke two packs a day that no one sees. I could just go into a list of stuff.

"But at the end of the day that's not really what we should be discussing, because my message isn't: 'Let's all be fat,' my message is: 'Let's love yourself regardless of how you look in your current body because your mental health is far more important before you can worry about your physical health.'"
